Mark Zuckerberg says VR is "the Next Major Computing and Communication Platform."

CEO of Oculus' parent company Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg said that the Rift is only the beginning of VR tech. He claims that virtual reality will grow to be a huge part of everyday communication.

In a Q and A on Facebook, Zuckerberg took a question about his views of how the world will look in 10 years. In response, he stated that Facebook's acquisition of Oculus VR came about because he is convinced that VR will change the way we talk and compute.

"We're working on VR because I think it's the next major computing and communication platform after phones," he said. "In the future we'll probably still carry phones in our pockets, but I think we'll also have glasses on our faces that can help us out throughout the day and give us the ability to share our experiences with those we love in completely immersive and new ways that aren't possible today."

Facebook bought Oculus VR for $2 billion back in March 2014. Oculus recently announced that the Rift will launch in the first quarter of 2016.
